Trading journal day 17
Cover Day
I started to buy in quite a few of my shorts today, although some are still making a good race to the bottom of their charts.
I also added onto one of my few Long positions.

Open Trades
While everything else about an open trade is established at entry, the ‘stop loss’ order will be adjusted periodically over the life of a trade. The idea is to move the stops at key price points and let the profitable trades keep running.
Much slower day in terms of how many stops I moved, but I'm still marking bold the stops that I adjusted.
